A member asked:
Can rubbing spine briefly but kind of hard do anything?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you are asking if this can cause spinal damage, the answer is no since the spine is very well protected so rubbing over your spinal column will not do any type of spinal damage. It may cause some skin irritation and maybe some muscle irritation but it would not cause any bone or spinal issues. Good luck!
